Black guy Obama is a newbie with no track record, Hillary, the same, but she has has a white guys coattail to ride. Neither can point to success at running anything. Don't they know if they are relying on affirmative action to get elected Americans will slap them silly...I mean, sillier?

I mean, if the church finds out about the abortion can they deny you the right to be married in their church? and if they do can you take legal action?

I'm in NY State...I was recently very minorly side swiped by a car that was angry because I cut them off. They swerved into my lane and very very minorly scrathed my driver side mirror. They darted ahead of me and stopped the car. A man got out and started approaching my car. Fealing threatened, I sped off and decided to drive home to get a safe distance away. 5-10 minutes later a cop showed up asking me about the situation. I explained it and he said it wasnt even worth writing up, but I did give him my insurance info. A few hours later, I got a call from an officer saying that I am being cited for leaving the scene of an accident becuase I didn't call the cops soon enough if i felt threatened...what should I do now? Should I wait until my court date to explain this? should I file a report now? Any help please?

I need a answer to this question by someone who knows the law.My son file a habeas and as one of the claims for dismissal he had A.) ineffective counsel and B.)The 2 witnesses were not credible due to their inconsistent testimony at the trial.C.)The dectectives failed to gather evidence that proved the defendent was at the scene of the crime.(witnesses stated that he touched the table cloth and laundry basket) The defendents lawyer failed in arguing in the trial the inconsistance testimonies that the witness had given and no positive ID,light skin with braids,but they said that they were 100%,one said he had a mask on from the head to nose,and at another trail said he had a mask from his nose to his mouth.The other witness said that he didn't have on a mask also that the previous suspect told him what happened.It all makes no sense that someone would be In jail behind all these foul ups.The lawyer also fail to argue the dectives did not gather evidence to prove that the witnesses testimony was in fact true.The Attorney General is trying to get his habeas dismiss because she stated that A and B could have been raised at his trial or direct appeal and are not cognizable in habeas corpus because allowing them to be considered in habeas would
circumvent the trial and appellate process for non jurisdictional defects. Slayton v. Parrigan,215 va.27,30,205 S.E.2d 680,682(1974)Thus,claims A and B are procedurally defaulted and are dimissed.She also goes on to state that In claim C the petitioner raised this claim at trial and on direct appeal, and thus is barred from raising it in habeas corpus by rule of Henry v. Warden,265 va.246, 249,576 S.E.2d 495,496(2003)holding claims raised at trial or appeal are not cognizable in habeas corpus.Thus claim C is dismissed.Isn't this contradicting the previous statement she made about claims A and B? Could someone please answer this question for me as it is very important to by son's case.He does not have a lawyer and we have been doing this with him on our own(can't afford a lawyer)Please take the time you need to answer this question and if you can find a case in point please feel free to include it.
Thank You
Gloria

Pop-radar is when your detector goes off near the cop, but you don't get a ticket.

Laser is when you detector goes off very close to the cop, you may or not get a ticket.

Constant on Radar is when your detector goes off far from the cop, like over a hill, but you don't get a ticket.

I will post results on speedtrap.com

Well when I told some people I wanted to join the Marines but I also wants to check out other branches, some of them flipped when I mention I want to consider the Airforce and some of them laughed and say: "The airforce is for women" or "Its full of Pedophiles and molesters, check out their academy in Wikipedia" it just kinda insulting since my dad used to be an Airman, and when I say I want to join the Army they say its all "Sissy" and "easy" and say they are weak, I even found this list of stereotype:
Size of Balls according to branches
Marines: Bowling balls
Navy: Basketballs/Volleyballs
Army: Tennis Balls
Airforce: Golf balls
They are kinda suggesting that the Airforce is weak and the Marines have 3 MREs a day and the AF have 3 hot meals prepared by Emeril Lagasse, I mean its good you love your branch and all but could you really determine who is "The best" I am not Biased since I have relatives in ALL of the 4 branches My uncle used to be a Marine....Continued

Ok I don't do this but I've always wondered why alcohol and cigarette are legal but marijuana is not. From what I understand does alcohol not have a worse effect on your body and mind than that of marijuana. And don't cigarettes cause more damage to you physically than marijuana.

I'm not saying that it is a good thing to do but from a legal point of view doesn't it make sense. If anyone knows of a place that says why it is illegal and and the others are not please tell. And I would love to hear your thoughts on the matter. Thank You.

my father told me that ronal reagan was a bad president because he raised taxes on goods necessary for life and lowered them on everything else so rich people could get richer and poor people would get even poorer.

i'm wondering, ron paul is a republican and supported ronald reagan apparently. but what views does he share with reagan? and does he make rich people richer and poor people poorer? because ron paul from what i've read seems like my kinda guy, he doesn't want to **** anyone over, but apparently ronald reagan did. so what's the deal? thanks

and why would ron paul vote for reagan if reagan did **** people over?

wont be the one elected?

Kucinivish (however you spell that name)
Ive looked, hes tried to pass alot of good things.
Is it because he doesnt play the game enough, or is it that Money is truly what politics is all about.

My vote is vote Richardson or Kusinivich as Pres/V.P. Team, with either winning the other the V.P..

What you say?

I have never believed in a politician in my entire life, but Ron Paul is a man of integrity and principle. He doesn't want to be president to glorify himself, but to help us, the people. He is entirely humble and self-effacing, he has delivered 4,000 babies as an obstetrician, and he has a completely consistent and unwavering voting record in congress.

For those of you who want to see him in office, what strategies can we implement to get him elected? I feel like he may be the last hope for our nation, seriously.

If you don't know about him, check out this cool video to the tune of Aerosmith:
